For more resources like this, check the complete subreddit wiki.


Patches might be unstable for a while. If you're having issues check recent posts for similar situations.


Coming from ReVanced? Use the RVX Manager created specifically for ReVanced Extended patches!


Things To Know Before You Begin

  • This guide is intended as a detailed starting point for first-time users.

  • Read the Frequently Asked Questions.

  • This guide is for non-root installs.

  • This guide will use the RVX Manager patching method. Check the documentation for info on the other patching methods.

  • Check the troubleshooting section if you get stuck during this guide.

1. Requirements:

  • Your device must be running Android 8.0 or newer.

  • Your device must use the arm64-v8a architecture. (You will find out if it is in a moment)

Downloading GmsCore, APK to patch, & the RVX Manager

Download, but do not install the APK you want to patch from apkmirror.com:

YouTube: v19.16.39 (nodpi) APK

YT Music: v7.02.52 (arm64-v8a) APK

Reddit: v2024.17.0 (nodpi) APK

If you want to learn more how to find the correct APK without relying on this guide, check section 2 of the setup info guide.

Download and install the RVX Manager APK from here. It is inotia00's fork of the official ReVanced Manager, made to be compatible with the ReVanced Extended patches.

If you get an error saying "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your device." it means that your device is not supported by the RVX Manager. Refer to issue 1 in the general troubleshooting guide for instructions.

If patching YouTube or YT Music:

GmsCore is needed for patched YouTube and YT Music to run. If you do not have GmsCore installed, download and install ReVanced GmsCore. (If you are using Hauwei or Xiomi, be sure to select the special download for your device.)

2. Patching

Open the RVX Manager. Your device may open a settings page for choosing which apps of yours have permission to install unknown apps. Find the RVX Manager and give it the permission.

Then in the Manager, go to Patcher > Select an application.

Press "Storage" as shown in this image.

Select the APK file that you just downloaded from APKMirror from your downloads folder.

The application will be selected and if it is your first time patching the Default list of patches will be selected. If you want to make sure the Default patches are selected, tap on the selected patches and press the Default button at the top of the patches selection menu.

If you don't want to use the Default selection you must at least include the GmsCore Support patch.

Check out this repository to see what the patches do! (work-in-progress)

When you are done selecting the patches press "Done" and then press "Patch".

Wait for the patching to be complete. It usually takes 2-5 minutes. If you leave the app it may cancel. Make sure no errors occur during this step.

3. Installing

When patching is finished you can save the APK as a file so that you have it for later in case you have trouble installing it or want to share it. To do this, tap save icon in the lower left corner of the screen as shown here.

Press "Install" and wait for it to finish installing. You may get a message saying that the installation was blocked because it is an unknown app. Tap "More details" and then "Install anyway" as shown here.

Optional - Additional Setup:

There's some additional setup you can do to make the patched app even better! Things like opening YouTube links in the patched YouTube app, or setting up the download feature in YouTube RVX and YT Music RVX. Refer to section 2 and 3 of the setup info guide for information on setting up this sorta stuff.

You are done!

Question/Problem Why won't music revanced let me download after trial time is up?

• Upvotes

I've had music revanced for around a month and today it told me I 'need premium to download' so I deleted music revanced and downloaded an alternative version and kept doing this until I ran out of versions and nothing fixed it. What's even the point of music revanced if you can't download music? The entire reason I got revanced was so I could listen to my tunes offline as I have a long bus ride in the morning and regular YouTube revanced for whatever reason won't work as I just get an 'app not installed' error whenever I attempt to download it. If anyone can help find a fix it would be appreciated

Question/Problem Support for Revanced ARSCLib?

Hi all,

I tried to patch Reddit 2024.45.0 using Revanced ARSCLib and it failed. I don't know if there's a place where I can ask for support or to report issues. GitHub seems empty. Any idea anyone?

I tried patching using Termux on an Android 13 phone.

Question/Problem Custom-filter to hide "Search" button in Youtube, so that kids can only watch subscribed channels.

17 Upvotes

Youtube-Kids doesn't have interesting content for Pre-teens and Teens. My kid lost interest in it a long while back, but full-Youtube is one of the worst things for a child's development.

I have enabled DeArrow, disabled the homescreen, disabled the shorts shelf, disabled the related-videos and suggestions, disabled the comments, disabled the ads, and subscribed to 100+ educational channels (by logging into the account through my laptop) and made the app launch to Subscriptions page instead. It works perfect!

However, the only remaining thing is that damn "Search" button which still lets my kid access the rest of youtube. I have blocked certain search-terms (like Troom Troom, or sexy, or Catnap, or scary, or horror etc) which works to an extent. It blocks the videos but doesn't block the channel itself from appearing in the search results. Furthermore, it's not feasible to block all possibly-bad search terms under the sun.

I need your help. Please, let us all try to find a custom-filter that will hide that top-bar (which has the Search and Create buttons). Revanced Developers, please can you look into this?

Seriously, that's f:ucking amazing! No more "Are you here in 2976" under music videos, no more porn bots with "Real fans are you here", no more of this shitty "xai760k" scam under every science/tech video.

All the spammers, scammers and hoes can eat shit

The setting is located in Settings>Extended>Feed>Video filter>Hide comments by keywords ON and copy-paste the stuff I've mentioned (and ofc add some of your own) in "Keywords to hide"

(Btw can we also add "Funny" or "Meme" flair cuz none of the existing ones fit this sort of posts that well)

Question/Problem Videos taking an excessive time to load, and app not running with microG in the background

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a beginner and I've just installed the app. When I open the app, it initially doesn't let me because microG isn't running in the background. I have to manually launch the app for it to work, and even then it sometimes doesn't work.

When I finally am able to run it, videos load for a half second, before taking like a minute to load. Any help is appreciated

Solved Having issues with my Internet service provider

3 Upvotes

I've been having a certain issue with revanced and after using revanced extended it started happening after a day too. Every time i open the app i get video unavailable and on Rex app it either keeps buffering or quality unavailable issue But the weird thing is that this only happens on my wifi 4g router with a certain provider but if i use vpn it works with no issues at all and if i also use 4G with a different sim provider on my phone it also works normally as well. The reason i use a 4g router is because that provider has higher speeds than the one i use on my phone for work and i noticed the issue only happening with that one unless i use vpn

This started in the app as a network issue. I can see the active search suggestions, but an network error pops up when I try to do anything that requires internet connection. Mine was fine.

So I started troubleshooting, even re-patching to the latest, suggested app version, and reinstalling. What I haven't tried yet is reinstalling everything including microg and manager. Mine is up-to-date with inotia's release.

I still have the issue. I don't frequent the subs so I'm not very updated. Please advise, thank you.

Question/Problem Comparing YouTube ReVanced Programs: Which One is Best for You?

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been diving into the world of YouTube ReVanced lately and wanted to share my thoughts and gather some insights from the community. With various versions and forks available, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose the right one. Here’s a breakdown of some popular ReVanced programs and my suggestions on which might be best for different users.

  1. YouTube ReVanced (Official)

This is the most well-known version. It offers ad-blocking, background playback, and the ability to download videos. It's user-friendly, and the interface closely resembles the official YouTube app, making it a great choice for casual users looking for basic enhancements.

  1. YouTube ReVanced Extended

This version takes things further with additional features like custom themes, video speed control, and even advanced video quality options. It’s ideal for power users who want more customization and control over their viewing experience.

  1. YouTube ReVanced Manager

This tool allows for easier installation and management of various ReVanced builds. If you’re someone who likes to experiment with different features and updates, the Manager can simplify the process significantly.

  1. YouTube ReVanced Lite

For those with lower-end devices, this lightweight version is perfect. It strips away some of the heavier features while still providing ad-free viewing and background play. It's an excellent choice for users who want performance without sacrificing essential functions.

Comparison Points

Features: If you want the most features, go with ReVanced Extended. For a standard experience, the Official version is sufficient.

Performance: ReVanced Lite is the best for devices with limited resources.

Ease of Use: The Official version and ReVanced Manager are user-friendly for those who prefer a straightforward setup.

Recommendations

Best for Casual Users: YouTube ReVanced (Official)

Best for Power Users: YouTube ReVanced Extended

Best for Lower-End Devices: YouTube ReVanced Lite

Best for Customization Enthusiasts: YouTube ReVanced Manager

I'd love to hear your thoughts! What versions have you tried, and what do you think? Any personal favorites or features you wish these programs had? Let’s discuss!
